MLOps Coffee Sessions #95 with Ciro Greco, MLOps as Tool to Shape Team and Culture.
// Abstract
Good MLOps practices are a way to operationalize a more “vertical” practice and blur the boundaries between different stages of “production-ready”. Sometimes you have this idea that production-ready means global availability but with ML products that need to be constantly tested against real-world data, we believe production-ready should be a continuum and that the key person that drives that needs to be the data scientist or the ML engineer.
